It's not big secret to us, but a lot of men buy and wear toe rings.
Lots of guys do email us though, asking if it's okay for them to wear toe rings. They also want to know what toe they should wear them on (any toe is fine). Wearing toe rings is not a sign of sexual preference by any means.
Toe jewelry is largely associated first with Indian culture, then Bohemian fashion, and now has become a popular reflection of beach culture, flip flop-wearers, and a fun vacation indicator.
Men and women tend to wear toe rings on the second or third toe, and sometimes the big toe. This type of jewelry was largely marketed to women, but toe rings are generally unisex designs. However, around the 1990s, more masculine toe jewelry designs emerged in fashion. American male surfers were the first large group of men to sport the body jewelry accessory. Today toe adornment is becoming more mainstream for men who like jewelry.
For many years, Indian men have been known to wear toe rings on each big toe - a sign of masculinity, power and strength. They may also wear toe rings for medicinal purposes, utilizing pressure points on the toes for healing. Indian women also wear matching rings on their toes as a sign of marriage.
People can expect to see more men wearing toe rings in the future with the large selection of masculine designs and the greater social acceptance of male body jewelry.

I have been wearing toe rings since 2020 now complimented by leather anklets. One ring on my second toe left foot, then one ring middle toe right foot, girl’s compliment me often for it lol, luckily I have nice feet that suit the look!
I have worn at least one toe ring for three years. I’ve worn anklets for 30 years. It’s all about what you want to wear.
I’ve exposed my toes in public but don’t make a habit of it because some people still believe anything outside of the norm is an indicator of one’s sexuality. My wife wears four toe rings and toe rings are our thing.
“Real Men” aren’t concerned with the perceptions of others and do (or wear) whatever makes them feel good. I’m a 47-year-old straight dude (married 20 years) living up in Canada – so I can only sport flip flops 4-6 months a year (depending on weather) which corresponds to “toe-ring season”, I picked up the toe ring habit living in SoCal – but still live near a beach and spend a good portion of my summer either on my boat or the dock at the cottage…
My wife really likes David Yurman – so all my jewellery is silver and black – and my toe ring “stack” consists of 3 × 4mm flat bands – a black sandwiched between two silver – which not only matches the Yurman style, it gets noticed by and earns compliments from all the ladies…
I’m a 58 year old man , and I have been wearing fitted toe rings since 2003..twenty years now. I mostly wear six gold rings on my middle toes. I have also worn silver rings on my little and big toes. I wear sandals 340 days a year, and people give me compliments!
I am 66 years. I just lost my wife of 22 years and have moved my wedding band to whatever toe it fit. 1/3rd of my life deserves remembrance and honor…
